Second quarter 2022 revenue up 52% year-over-year and gross margin of 11.6%
Company raises revenue and delivery outlook for fiscal year 2022
CHICAGO, Aug. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FreightCar America, Inc. (NASDAQ: RAIL) (“FCA” or the “Company”), a diversified manufacturer of railroad freight cars, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Second Quarter 2022 Highlights
- Revenues of $56.8 million, up 52.0% year-over-year, on deliveries of 468 railcars
- Gross margin of 11.6% with gross profit of $6.6 million and manufacturing operating income of $4.9 million
- Net income of $14.5 million, or $0.58 per share
- Adjusted EBITDA of $2.3 million
- Quarter-end backlog totaled 2,972 railcars with an aggregate value of approximately $320 million
- 2022 revenue outlook raised to between $340 million and $360 million and delivery outlook raised to between 3,000 and 3,200 railcars
Jim Meyer, President and Chief Executive Officer of FreightCar America, commented, “FreightCar America reported solid results in the second quarter, recording positive Adjusted EBITDA on just 468 railcars due to planned line changeovers which temporarily curtailed production. The changeovers went smoothly and according to plan, and these results demonstrate our ability to generate superior margins even while producing far fewer units and against the continuing backdrop of high steel costs. For the balance of the year, we expect to produce upwards of 2,000 railcars.”
Meyer continued, “Our work to expand the Castaños facility continues, and we believe that we are well on our way to building a world class manufacturing footprint in Northern Mexico with equal focus on product flexibility, quality, and low cost. At the same time, our commercial team remains focused on growing our business in a margin-accretive manner.”
Second Quarter 2022 Results
- Consolidated revenues were $56.8 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $37.4 million in the second quarter of 2021. The Company delivered 468 railcars in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 313 railcars in the second quarter of 2021.
- Net income in the second quarter of 2022 was $14.5 million, or $0.58 per share, compared to net loss of ($4.2) million, or ($0.24) per share, in the second quarter of 2021. Net income/loss for the current and prior periods included non-operating items that impacted results, including:
- $18.7 million non-cash gain related to the change in fair market value of warrant liability and a $2.8 million non-cash gain for stock-based compensation in the second quarter of 2022. In the second quarter of 2021, there was a non-cash gain of $3.5 million related to the change in fair market value of warrant liability.

Fiscal Year 2022 Revenue Between $340 million and $360 million Railcar Deliveries Between 3,000 and 3,200 railcars Mike Riordan, Chief Financial Officer, added, “We executed on our strategic and financial objectives in the second quarter, and while our production year-to-date was largely in line with our internal expectations, we are expecting a significant uptick in units delivered for the balance of fiscal 2022.

We believe EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry. In addition, our management uses EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance. The calculation of EBITDA eliminates the effects of financing, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending. These items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to the overall performance of the company’s business. EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, when analyzing our operating performance, investors should not consider EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities or other statements of operations or statements of cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to that of other similar titled measures reported by other companies.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before the following charges:
a) This adjustment removes the non-cash (income) expense associated with the change in fair market value of the Company’s warrant liability.
b) The Company incurred certain restructuring costs related to severance and other costs related to its shut-down of the Shoals and Roanoke facilities.
c) The Company amortizes deferred grant income to cost of goods sold that represents a non-cash reduction to its gross margin (loss).
d) The Company incurred certain costs during 2021 for nonrecurring professional services associated with its financing arrangements.
e) The Company incurred certain non-recurring consulting costs during the fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2022.
f) The Company incurred certain non-recurring corporate realignment costs in the first quarter of 2022.
g) During the first and fourth quarters of 2021, the Company recognized charges related to a legal dispute.
h) During 2020, the Company implemented a program to shift production originally planned for its U.S. plants to its Castaños facility. This adjustment represents non-recurring costs associated with moving inventory and equipment to its Castaños facility.We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash charges and other special items that affect the comparability of results in past quarters. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, when analyzing our operating performance, investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities or other statements of operations or statements of cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to that of other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
